Kendall Graveman, a right-hander, was released by the Diamondbacks after being designated for assignment. Starting his MLB career in 2014, Graveman initially had a solid run as a back-end starter until Tommy John surgery in 2018. His first full season as a reliever in 2021 saw him excel, achieving a 1.77 ERA. He signed with the White Sox over three years but faced injuries in 2024, needing shoulder surgery. Graveman inked a one-year deal with the Diamondbacks but encountered further injuries, leading to ineffective performances before his release.
Graveman's transition from a back-end starter to a successful reliever in 2021 showcased his ability to improve, achieving a 1.77 ERA and a 3.30 SIERA.
Over his first two years with the White Sox, Graveman made 133 appearances, ranking 10th among AL relievers with a 3.15 ERA and a 4.01 SIERA.
Injuries plagued Graveman's 2024 season, leading to shoulder surgery and an early season injury, resulting in a disappointing return with 14 runs given up in 19 games.
Graveman's signing with the Diamondbacks included a $1.35MM base deal, potentially increasing with performance bonuses, but an injury again disrupted his start to the season.
